Doubt

The film "Doubt" is about a particular case of pedophilia that occurs in white an elementary school of white color. A priest, a rector at the school, starts paying too much attention to a black child, as a result creating a result of this a number of problems that unleash the plot involving social reality of the time as well as today. An intense moral struggle begins because of difference between Sister Aloysius and Sister James. Their differences have to do with their personality, relation with Father Flynn and behavior.

On the one hand in the management of "doubt" Sister Aloysius begins to treat students with confidence, warmth and humility. This distrust is what drives Sister Aloysius to suspect that Father Flynn is being exceeded with a student. She is certain that she was correct about who and what Flynn is.

Taking about personality, Sister Aloysius´ is a severe woman, fearing all the guys, and even the nuns, translated in a strict orthodoxy. She is the director who controls everything but with a firm hand. Conversely, Sister James is a sweet, innocent woman and, maybe, a little naïve. She is a fresher nun, she knows she is young and inexperienced and she wanted something closer to the students.
